Massive debris flow traveling at lightning speed in eastern TN! The preceding drought conditions followed by days of rain ahead of Hurricane Helene set the stage. This is incredibly rapid for a debris flow.

It is incredible how this explosion de-condensed the condensation funnel of the #tornado. The explosion changed the thermodynamic gradients dramatically within the vortex and blew up the Clausius-Clapeyron equation

I am sorry for the canceled live stream today. We chased in my truck and had technical difficulties. I assumed that Youtube would notify when we canceled the live and was driving toward the storm. We will be fixing up Dominator 3 before Friday’s chase

Check out the structure of this supercell in a conditionally volatile environment for tornadic storms but in a tipping point state. A few degrees warmer at the surface, a tickle more surface convergence, or lift and would have had big problems

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by Will Clay
